Unintended consequences abound when it comes to emerging technology, and self-driving cars are no exception. Numerous ethical and legal dilemmas associated with autonomous vehicles are currently being explored and have been well documented, but it seems there is one drawback that has been missing from the conversation: where are we going to get our extra organs?   Continue reading “Driverless Cars Could Lead To Organ Donor Shortage”

Ahh, family time. It doesn’t get much warmer than this. A father and his son were at home last night in Erie County, NY when they heard a noise outside. Upon investigation, they found 18-year-old Jacob Rappleye and 22-year-old Anthony Guarino inside the home after breaking in via a 2nd story window by using a ladder.

As the homeowner and his son are gun owners, they naturally grabbed their firearms and held the two young intruders at gunpoint until police arrived.   Continue reading “Father And Son Have Some Bonding Time By Holding Two Home Intruders At Gunpoint Until Police Arrive”

Though news on the Ebola virus has been muted since two American health care workers were admitted to U.S.-based facilities last month, the deadly contagion continues to spread. According to the World Health Organization more than 40% of all Ebola cases thus far have occurred in just the last three months, suggesting that the virus is continuing to build steam.

Physicist Alessandro Vespignani of Northeastern University in Boston is one of several researchers trying to figure out how far Ebola may spread and how many people around the world could be affected. Based on his findings, there will be 10,000 cases by September of this year and it only gets worse from there.   Continue reading “U.S. Preps For Ebola Outbreak: Cases May Exceed 100,000 By December: “The Numbers Are Really Scary””

Physicists at Fermilab in Illinois have turned on a laser-based experiment that could reveal whether the three-dimensional world we perceive is merely a “Matrix”-style illusion generated by a cosmic two-dimensional hologram.

The Holometer experiment is the result of years of work by particle astrophysicist Craig Hogan and his colleagues at the federally funded Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and it could provide the first clear evidence for the existence of the holographic universe. The concept has been debated for decades, but it’s devilishly difficult to show whether it can ever be anything more than a concept.    Continue reading “Do We Live in a 2-D Hologram? Physicists Aim to Find Out”

ISIS has changed its name several times. It has also been called IS or Islamic State and ISIL (Islamic State in the Levant.) They used to be known as Al Qaeda in Iraq but they got rid of that name. Too many people had caught on to the fact that Al Qaeda was just a bunch of Muslims willing to sell their souls to the CIA and the Mossad. So after their name change  they launched the new brand by invading Iraq and declaring Sharia law. But changing their name did not alter who they are and who their paymasters are.   Continue reading “If ISIS is a Bomb, Israel is the Bombmaker”

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Lamont Jones and Keith Stephens stood 60 feet from each other, separated by four lanes of pavement and a thousand miles of perception.

Stephens was wearing a T-shirt printed with a police shield bearing the phrase “OFFICER DARREN WILSON I STAND BY YOU,” as part of a rally supporting the white policeman who killed 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was unarmed. Jones was across the street, holding up a sign that said, in blood-red letters: “Darren Wilson is a Murderer.”

There was no overlap in the facts as seen by Jones and Stephens at the demonstrations staged a few miles from suburban Ferguson, where Brown was killed. Like many who have closely followed the case, which sparked riots and yet another national racial conflagration, Jones and Stephens had made up their minds.   Continue reading “No gray area: Beliefs shape view of Brown killing”

When Katzen Hobbes was a toddler, she had dreams where she saw herself covered in tiger stripes.

When she was 18, she started making that dream a reality.

Now, at the age of 40, 90 percent of her body is covered in stripes.

“I still need a little bit of work under the right armpit and right ear, but I’m pretty close to completion,” Hobbes told The Huffington Post. “But I might add something more.”   Continue reading “Katzen Hobbes Turns Herself Into Tiger Woman”

The Grocery Store Rebellion continues…

This week, we didn’t buy much in the way of weekly food. Instead, I invested my money and time in prepping tomatoes for the year ahead.

We learned several things this week, one of which is the vast importance of networking.  Very few of us can self-sufficiently provide every bite of food we eat. There are a variety of reasons for this. Perhaps you don’t have enough (or any) land for growing produce and raising meat. Maybe there are restrictions from your HOA regarding what you are allowed to do in your own yard.  You could be living through a drought or just having  a bad gardening year.    Continue reading “The Grocery Store Rebellion: Here’s What We Ate During Week 3”

MIRA LOMA, Calif. — Week after week, Guadalupe Rangel worked seven days straight, sometimes 11 hours a day, unloading dining room sets, trampolines, television stands and other imports from Asia that would soon be shipped to Walmart stores.

Even though he often clocked 70 hours a week at the Schneider warehouse here, he was never paid time-and-a-half overtime, he said. And now, having joined a lawsuit involving hundreds of warehouse workers, Mr. Rangel stands to receive more than $20,000 in back pay as part of a recent $21 million legal settlement with Schneider, a national trucking company.   Continue reading “More Workers Are Claiming ‘Wage Theft’”
